THE new owner of the Sale Hotel has submitted plans to refurbish the historic building.
Leading pub chain Greene King has applied for planning permission to carry out work on the listed building.
Greene King bought the Marsland Road building last summer after it was saved from demolition, and announced plans to redevelop it as a pub under its Hungry Horse brand.
The firm’s planning application proposes a new rear customer entrance with colonnade feature, extending the patio, a new external staircase, and new toilets, kitchen and internal entrance lobby.
The existing boundary wall will be raised to 3.4m with 1.9m high timber gates, a 1.2m timber boundary fence and lighting columns of 2.35m and 4m.
The 133-year-old Sale Hotel was saved from demolition and gained listed status a year ago following a high-profile campaign, which saw 1,500 residents sign a petition within a week.
The Sale Hotel was built in 1878 as part of the Sale Botanical Gardens. The gardens, which included a ballroom, lake, cycle track and grass tennis courts closed in 1896, and the hotel was used a
pub for many years until it closed in March 2009.
